What gives?? I'm so HUNGRY!
I've got the whole day's worth of food planned. 1,240 Calories, 68g Carb, 50g Fat, 119g Protein. For reference, I have a desk job.

I have some pinned recipes for egg casseroles that I'll make into single serving muffins, but I'm looking for ways to eat cottage cheese maybe with some mix-ins at work. The more protein packed, the…

ISO Protein Powder Packed Quiche / Egg Muffins
I just bought some Vanilla quest protein powder and had a shake last night which was DELICIOUS. However, for mornings I do better with something not so sweet, so I was wondering if anybody had seen any recipes for a quiche or fritata or something utilizing the protein powder so I could enjoy something savory in the morning…

OMG THIS TASTES AMAZING (protein shake recipe)
Just bought my first protein powder! I’ve tried shakeology before (chocolate) and it was your typical “good for you, doesn’t taste great but I’m going to convince myself I like this” taste. Of course in my beginning days I had tried slim fast (I know, not protein), but you know how all those kinds of things have that same…

Savory ways to enjoy Greek yogurt?
I love Greek yogurt for its protein punch. With its low calorie count and minimal amount of fat, it helps me meet my protein for the day without going over in my other categories. HOWEVER! - I’m usually a more salty than sweet kinda gal. I prefer savory over sweet for my daily snacks and I tire VERY quickly of eating…

Keto vs Anything Else?? Unsure :/ NEED KNOWLEDGE!
I'm currently hovering somewhere around 150-155 lb and am 5'5"...I want to get down to probably 130? Maybe less, depends on how I look/feel at that point. I have always had a rather pudgy middle, and after having my daughter at 18 I was left with a lot of stretch marks so that doesn't help with the "pudge factor" either. I…

Concealed Carry Ladies Pants ??
Just wondering if anyone has found any cute Capri length workout pants or tops or if anyone has any general suggestions on ways to conceal carry while going for a walk or jog. Luckily mine is pretty tiny so it lends itself to being easily concealed but obviously I'd like it easily accessible too! Sorry if this is the wrong…

Leslie Sansone's "Walk at Home," P90x3 and Why I'm 'Afraid'
For starters, I hate saying "I'm afraid" lol...makes me feel like a wuss :tongue: BUT...anyway So years ago, when I first shed my weight (like...20-25 lbs), I did it through a 1200 cal diet and the Leslie Sansone videos. I've kept the weight off, but have not progressed along my fitness journey. I'm getting back on the…

High Protein Side Dishes (Weeknight Family Dinners) ???
So I've switched up macro goals as I continue to learn about food and nutrition. I'm on a 40/30/30 carb/fat/protein plan which for me equals 90g of protein a day (1200 cal diet). On most days I can meet my protein goals (lots of greek yogurt, quest protein bar, etc) but usually on my workout days I struggle to meet it, as…

Flat Out Breads - Need Suggestions (+ a recipe!)
So I've been using the "fold-its" and the "protein up carb down" wraps, but I find them...uh, kinda bitter? My lunch is generally bland - just turkey and swiss. I know, so original right?

Muscle Toning/Building for Overweight 60+ Person?
Hi there, I'm writing here on behalf of my aunt, who to me, is very inspiring. She has always been overweight (I really think in this case it's genetics, because she's never been one to just EAT EAT EAT EAT - not a binger). She is and always has been quite active - does a lot of yard work, heavy lifting, cleaning - lady…

?: Pectoral exercises (for a lady and her "ladies" ;))
Ok so I am pretty much a newb when it comes to fitness. I know that the breasts are just fatty tissue and glands and nonsense (lol) but I know that I can work my Pectoral muscles and that will be better than doing my current nothing, yes? I'm not expecting a cup increase but that's not what I want anyway (I'm between a C…
